Does Montana Consider Marino Had the Greatest QB Mechanics?
Marino got here right into a league and decade that was dominated by Montana and the 49ers. Sadly, Marino’s bid at a Tremendous Bowl title was dismantled by the hands of the Niners within the 1984 season — Marino’s second season within the league.
However mechanics-wise, was Marino higher than everybody else on the time? Even Montana’s? The legendary QB even admitted that Marino had one trait that positioned him forward of everybody else.
“He had a fast launch,” Montana mentioned. “I needed to step into a number of issues to get sufficient [force] on the ball.”
And even with the fast launch, Marino’s move by no means fluttered. It was at all times a lasered spiral.
“He had the right torque of his higher physique and energy to ship the ball shortly at a quick launch with accuracy,” Montana mentioned.
Montana has positioned Marino on the pedestal of greatest QB ever — forward of Brady and even himself. However who does he consider might doubtlessly move Marino? That may be two-time Tremendous Bowl champion for the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs Patrick Mahomes.
